D)Choice D would not support the president's argument, but rather the vice president's for expanding the e-commerce side of the business. Younger adults are more comfortable with all aspects of Internet buying and selling, and since DVD Heaven caters to college students, its customers and potential customers would already be comfortable with Internet ordering. Choices A, B, C, and E would all support the president's argument about consumer Internet concerns. Fraudulent businesses, identity theft, privacy issues, and wanting to actually see and hold purchases are all consumer concerns.
